Ideas to Make Life Easier Why didnt I think of that?!  We guarantee youll be uttering those words more than once at these ingenious little tips, tricks and ideas that solve everyday problems. Hull strawberries easily using a straw. Rubbing a walnut over scratches in your furniture will disguise dings and scrapes Remove crayon masterpieces from your TV or computer screen with WD40. Stop cut apples browning in your childs lunch box by securing with a rubber band. Overhaul your linen cupboard, store bed linen sets inside one of their own pillowcases and there will be no more hunting through piles for a match. Pump up the volume by placing your iPhone & iPod in a bowl.  The concave shape amplifies the music. Re-use a wet-wipes container to store plastic bags. Add this item to your beach bag.  Baby powder gets sand off your skin easily, who knew?! Attach a Velcro strip to the wall to store soft toys. Use wire to make a space to store gift wrap rolls against the ceiling, rather than cluttering up the floor. Find tiny lost items like earrings by putting a stocking over the vacuum hose. Make an instant cupcake carrier by cutting crosses into a box lid. For those who cant stand the scrunching and bunching: how to perfectly fold a fitted sheet. Forever losing your bathroom essentials?  Use magnetic strips to store bobby pins, tweezers and clippers, behind a vanity door Store shoes inside shower caps to stop dirty soles rubbing on your clothes.  And you can find them in just about every hotel. A muffin pan becomes a craft caddy.  Magnets hold the plastic cups down to make them tip-resistant. Bread tags make the perfect cord labels. Bake cupcakes directly in ice-cream cones, so much more fun and easier for kids to eat. Microwave your own popcorn in a plain brown paper bag.  Much healthier and cheaper than the packet stuff. Install a tension rod to hang your spray bottles. Turn your muffin pan upside down, bake cookie-dough over the top and voila, you have cookie bowls for fruit or ice-cream. Freeze Aloe Vera in ice-cube trays for soothing sunburn relief. Create a window-box veggie patch using guttering. Use egg cartons to separate and store your Christmas decorations.

Christmas 2011 -- Birth of a New Tradition

As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods -- merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Yes there is!

It's time to think outside the box, people. Who says a gift needs to fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper?
Everyone -- yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local American hair salon or barber?

Gym membership? It's appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement.

Who wouldn't appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, American owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a book of gift certificates.

Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plunking down the Benjamins on a Chinese made flat-screen? Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer, or driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local golf course.

There are a bazillion owner-run restaurants -- all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn't the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint. Remember, folks this isn't about big National chains -- this is about supporting your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open.

How many people couldn't use an oil change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy?

Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services of a local cleaning lady for a day.

My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy who is struggling to get his repair business up and running.

OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes.

Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet at your hometown theatre? Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands.

Honestly, people, do you REALLY need to buy another ten thousand Chinese lights for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of light, about fifty cents stays in the community. If you have those kinds of bucks to burn, leave the mailman, trash guy or babysitter a nice BIG tip.

You see, Christmas is no longer about draining American pockets so that China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about caring about US, encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their dreams. And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn't imagine. THIS is the new American Christmas tradition.

Forward this to everyone on your mailing list -- post it to discussion groups -- throw up a post on Craigslist in the Rants and Raves section in your city -- send it to the editor of your local paper and radio stations, and TV news departments. This is a revolution of caring about each other, and isn't that what Christmas is about?

Blessings,

Life Begins Each Morning
Whether one is twenty, forty, sixty or eighty;
whether one has succeeded, failed, or just
muddled along--Life Begins Each Morning!

Life is a day--this day. All past days are gone
beyond reviving. All days that still may come
are veiled in mystery. Each new day is Life, and
life begins anew with it.

Each night of life is a wall between today and
the past. Each morning is the open-door to a
new world--new vistas, new aims, new plans,
new thoughts.

The greatest fact in life is this, that it never is
too late to start again. Biography simply
overflows with inspiring examples of this truth.

However discouraging your days may have
been, keep this thought burning brightly in your
mind--Life Begins Each Morning!

To: Jeanine Gee <Gee.Jeanine@gmail.com>

Hi, Jeanine!  Please post this.  Thank you.  

 

I just got this in my email and thought it was good advice.  

GPS 
A couple of weeks ago a friend told me that someone she knew had their car broken into while they were at a football game. Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans.

Things stolen from the car included a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had been prominently mounted on the dashboard.

When the victims got home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen. The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then used the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so they knew how much time they had to clean out the house. It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents.

Something to consider if you have a GPS - don't put your home address in it... Put a nearby address (like a store or gas station) so you can still find your way home if you need to, but no one else would know where you live if your GPS were stolen.

MOBILE PHONES 
This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet... Etc...was stolen.

20 minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says 'I received your text asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago.' When they contacted the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.

The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text 'hubby' in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.

Moral of the lesson: 
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list.

Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc....

And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back.

Also, when you're being text ed  by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If youdon't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.

New Missionary Family History Lessons

This past Sunday we mentioned the new lessons the full time missionaries are to receive in the MTC regarding how to use Family History to advance their work.  The lessons are short but provide the spirit of this work.  There have been pilot programs throughout the church for several years now in which the Elders and Sisters have used our family history resources as a way to start conversations about the gospel.  These programs have been very fruitful.  When I spoke with our new missionary last week, he said that they were actively pursuing this program in his last ward in Moapa.  Our other Elder, knew nothing about it.  Please go to this link and you can learn more about the program and think of friends and neighbors who might be interested. http://broadcast.lds.org/elearning/FHD/Local_Support/Consultant/FH_Missionary/player.html Family History has become a very popular "hobby" throughout the world. I think that this will be a great help to the missionary effort.

Flash freezing foods

From: Lili Lagan 

Please post:

Found this on I Village:

use your freezer

Your freezer can help lower your food costs like nothing else. Flash-freezing is one of my favorite methods for storing fresh produce, meat and baked goods until I am ready to use them. It's pretty simple: 

1.  Dice the vegetables or fruits, cut up meat into portions and slice or separate baked goods.
2.  Place on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet.
3.  Place in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours on sheet pan.
4.  Once frozen, transfer to freezer bags. (Always double bag them.)

In one particularly well-watered week, our garden produced more peppers than we could eat. So I just diced them up and put them into freezer bags to use later. Flash-freezing freezes each piece separately instead of freezing them into one big lump. Fruits will be at their lowest prices during their growing season, so stock up and freeze them to enjoy all year long in smoothies!

Happy Fall and time to order the honey!

Hi Sisters, As usual I am happy to pick up your orders and save you all a trip to Henderson.  Just give me a call if you want me deliver your orders to Henderson, or Pick up your honey when it gets here.

Happy Fall and time to order the honey!
-there will only be one order this fall; no second delivery.  The next order will be Feb. or March.
-when planning amount, consider it will be Christmas soon (gift packs-see attachment- did NOT go up in price-still $15, in fact if you ordered it online, the cost would be $27 each!  What a deal of the century.  It makes a sweet out of the ordinary present. )
-there are a few changes in sizes and style, all for the better.  No 40 oz. liquid anymore-replaced by the 32 oz.
-attachment has two tabs:  one for single ordering and the second tab is for a group order.  There will only be the Henderson pick up area, but you can certainly organize one person to pick up for a group.
-no pay pal nor credit card YET.  Cash or check only please.
-remember to store creamed below 70°; dry cool spot for both kinds of honey.  Rotate as you use.  If the weather goes around 80°, you can store creamed in refrigerator or freezer.
-when cooking with honey, rule of thumb is ¼ cup less than sugar, cook at 25° less than called for and may take 5 min. longer to cook.
-please FW information.

I received an email that Zaycon Foods is coming to Henderson this October with Fresh Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts.  It is $1.69/lb and they only sell it in 40 lb boxes for $67.60 + tax.  Their chicken is 100% natural chicken with no added hormones, additives or artificial ingredients.  People could research through zayconfoods.com.

We could get them to come to Boulder City if we have 50 boxes worth of interest.

Could you send out a mass email to see if there is that kind of interest within our ward.  I could also see if people were interested through Bountiful Basket.

Thanks!

The ACLU--From Lili Lagan

This is a portion of Robert Knight's column in the Townhall.com newsletter that I get daily.  I wholeheartedly agree with this article.  To read the entire article, go to the Townhall website.   

Robert Knight  

How the Devil's Law Firm Helps to Corrupt Kids

If you were the devil, what would be your most important mission, other than inventing false religions?

It would be to corrupt innocent children.

I'd start by kicking God out of the public schools and excising from textbooks the truth about America's deeply Christian heritage. I'd get rid of glaringly obvious ties between Christianity and the Founders' vision of unalienable rights and limited government. Children would be indoctrinated to think of themselves as cosmic accidents of random mutation and survival of the fittest, not precious beings with eternal souls created in the image of God. The result would be an effectively atheistic system of moral relativism.

Next, I'd cloak sexual promiscuity in terms of self-fulfillment, mix it up with junk science, and lobby the teachers unions to openly promote the Kinsey sex education model of children as "sexual beings" whose "orientation" has no moral relevance.

Finally, I'd expose the kids to outright propaganda through clever websites designed to promote deviance and to brand anyone with any qualms (such as parents) as hate-filled bigots and bullies.

If any school districts resist, I'd slap them with legal threats. And that's where the devil's law firm comes in.

The ACLU is running around the country, shaking their fists at school districts and demanding that kids be exposed to whatever the gay movement deems appropriate. In Prince William County, Virginia, after an ACLU threat, school officials removed the filter blocking homosexual websites. The Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal group, has sent letters to eight school districts, including Prince William, advising them that they have every right to keep the filters.

JECS Farm September 10, 2011 Hello,   We are excited to bring you another season of apples. Our goal is to help as many people as possible benefit from these great apples. So please feel free to foreword this email on to others whom you think would love some great apples!  Here are the details:    Note: The apple supply in our area is estimated to be 10% less than last year. As orders will be filled in the order received, this means the sooner you place your order, even for Fuji's and Honeycrisp's, the more assured you are of receiving your apples. Last year we barely had enough apples to meet the orders so order now and don't miss out.   Don't wait until the deadline or you will miss out.  Order here:  http://www.applesinaseed.com/apple_order.html   Deadline to order: Golden's and Honeycrisp: September 21, 2011. Estimated time of delivery: First week of October. Fuji's: November 21, 2011. Estimated time of delivery: First two weeks of December.   Price: Golden's & Fuji's-- $26/box (.65 cents/lb), Honeycrisp-- $31/box (.78 cents/lb)   To our regret, you may notice the small price increase from last year. This has been unavoidable as many costs have increased for us (and the rest of the economy) this year. The cost of the apples themselves has gone up 15%, shipping is up 20%, cardboard boxes are up 8%, labor is up 5% and so on. We have tried to absorb as much of the increase as possible without passing it on but can only do so much. Thank you for your understanding. Our prices for this farm fresh fruit are still 50% to 75% less than the local grocery store with superior quality.   As in the past, each box will weigh approximately 40 lbs. and are 'field run' apples. This means you will have a variety of sizes, shapes, color and small defects as you would when picking directly from the tree. They are washed and cleaned and we sort through them to get the best apples possible. They are the same apples as you have received from us in the past. Washington State has long been known as one of the best areas to grow apples but these apples are grown on the banks of Lake Chelan, Washington and are the very best; crisp, juicy and great flavor.   Remember that it is very important to watch your email for the delivery information. We will notify you by email of the delivery date and specific location. You must come and pick up your order at the specified time. In many locations we can't store your apples and have someone waiting around to get them to you at a later time. Any leftover boxes will be given to a local charity.   Suggestion: Because of gas prices, the economy and possible time constraints, we encourage people to consolidate your trips to pick up apples. Work with a friend in your area, donate to them a dollar or two for gas and time, and consolidate trips. This should help many of our customers who may have difficulty for one reason or another getting to the apple pick up locations. Because the apples are also prepaid, this will simplify things. This will also help keep the cost down on your apples.      Please order now: There are two methods of payment: Credit/Debit Card or Check Just click on the link below:    http://www.applesinaseed.com/apple_order.html   Thank you very much! Ken and Shauna     You are receiving this email because you have purchased apples, wheat or coconut oil from us in the past.

Scentsy Wickless Candles

Hello Sisters!  Michelle Peterson here!  I recently just became an independent consultant for Scentsy products and wanted to generate some interest in their awesome wickless candles.  A wickless candle, called a Scentsy Bar or a Scentsy Brick, is a highly fragrant wax bar that is warmed to release fragrance into the air. Because the wax is gently warmed rather than burned, it can hold more fragrance oil than a traditional candle. And, because there is no flame, there is no smoke, soot, or lead. Scentsy wickless candles are a safer alternative to traditional candles.  Scentsy’s beautiful ceramic warmers house a low-watt light bulb that slowly melts the Scentsy Bar or Scentsy Brick, filling your home with one of more than 80 distinctive, long-lasting scents.  On top of being much safer, Scentsy is also much more cost effective.  If you regularly burn traditional candles, the medium jars of the name brand companies cost somewhere between $15 and $25 and burns for about 65-90 hours.  A Scentsy Bar is $5 and burns for 60-80 hours.  Warmers range from $20 - $35 and come in many varieties, including your favorite college sports teams! 

If you are interested in purchasing, you can go to my website listed below and browse.  I will have my testers by Friday evening if you would like to smell some of the amazing scents Scentsy has to offer.  If you have any questions or if you are interested in hosting a party, where you can earn rewards, please send me an email at peterson.m@cox.net.  As I am very excited for this new adventure I am taking, I am offering anyone who purchases $40 in Scentsy products from My Launch Party (link is below) a free Scentsy Bar in the scent of their choice (do not add this to the cart, send me an email with the scent of your choice and it will be done separately).  Thank you so much ladies!!!  Have a wonderful day!

RS Weekly/ September Newsletter

Dear Sisters,

The lesson on Sunday was given by Sister Miller on the Conference talk by Dallin H. Oaks called, "Desire." It was a very profound topic and I felt one of the things I needed to understand better was developing and increasing our desires. I realized that desire is a precursor to unlock the power of faith. That God will grant us power to become or achieve anything that is expedient in him if we exercise faith in him, but faith is the substance (or the physical fulfillment) of things which are hoped for (Heb. 11:1). If we don't decide and strengthen our hopes and desires, we have already lost the opportunity to exercise this faith to achieve them. 

That is why I thought it was key that Elder Oaks pointed out that we must first gain the vision of what and where we hope to someday be in the future, as illustrated in his story of the man who freed himself from an 800 lb rock and hiked to safety only because he saw a vision of himself scooping up his 3 year old child with his one arm and gained the hope and the faith that he could survive to see this fulfilled. He explains, "When we have a vision of what we can become, our desire and our power to act increase enormously."

Announcements:

• This is the last week to do your visiting teaching so call or visit your sisters if you haven't.
• We have a ward activity coming up on Sept 9th at 6:30 pm
• We are very sad that Shauna Kelley will no longer be in our presidency but she will now be teaching our lessons once a month and she always does a wonderful job so we are looking forward to that. We also welcome Sister Georgia Wasden into our presidency and we are so grateful for her willingness to sacrifice her time to serve in this capacity.

Attached is the September Newsletter.

Have a great week and holiday weekend.

Open House for Exchange Student Saturday-- and Looking for Chest of Drawers

We are getting a foreign exchange student from Moldova tomorrow! Her name is Diana and she is 16 years old and we are excited to have her come be a part of our family this year. We want her to feel welcome and to get to know the members of our ward and community, as well as the great LDS youth who will be attending school with her since she has left all of her family and friends to come have this experience.

So, you are all invited to an open house to welcome her into our community on Saturday Evening from 6:30 - 7:30 at our house. We will have some Moldovan Refreshments and you can have a chance to mingle and learn about her and her country (she will give a brief presentation around 7 about it). Then from 7:30 to 8:30/9 we will be having a youth game night and You Tube favorites night for any of your youth who would like to stick around. Please inform your youth and encourage them to invite their friends from the high school/seminary as well.

Also and we need to buy a dresser for our spare room that she can use. We found one in Henderson for $20, but if anyone happens to have one they would like to sell, it would be easier for us to get one in Boulder City. We are looking to pay between $20 and $30 for a used one, it needs to be no more than 33" wide, and come from a smoke free home. If you happen to have one or know of one, let us know. A nightstand with drawers and a lamp would be useful too if you have any DI bound as well.

Thanks,

Jeanine Gee

Phone Scam

BE CAREFUL!

I just received a call from a heavily accented man at this number, 347-269-0834 (a NY number), who left a voice mail that said that my Social Security number was being investigated by the State.  I could call to get more information or settle out of court (??).  I did not answer his call because it was an unavailable number, and I did not call him back.  I looked the number up on line and found that it's a scam.  I called the local police and left a message with a detective to return my call so that I can give him the information.  What's scary is that he has the Social Security numbers and dates of birth of the people he calls.  If you should get a call from him, call the police.  Do NOT under any circumstances send him money.  By the way, you can enter phone numbers into your browser and the information will often come up, especially for numbers like this.

The local police told me that since it's a NY number, it's out of their jurisdiction.  They forwarded the info to NY.  However, he said there's not much they can do--most of these calls are forwarded from a European number.  Call the police anyway.  Maybe at some point, they will shut down this number.  I don't understand why they let these people continue to call from this number, as they have been doing so for some time.

Subject: Get Your Flags Ready REMEMBERING 9/11 THE PROGRAM:   On Saturday, September 11th, 2011, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States . Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this tenth anniversary of one our country's worst tragedies. We do this honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.   In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds.   ACTION PLAN:   So, here's what we need you to do ...   (1) Forward this email to everyone you know (at least 11 people). Please don't be the one to break this chain. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you.   (3) If you dont have a flag, buy one. Put a reminder on this email dated so you wont forget:) (2) Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day.   Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless America     .

 

 

Clothes needed

Hi Sisters,

 

Lori Gardner, who used to live in our Ward and will be coming back to attend Church with us, is in need of any used clothing you might have for her children.  She has two boys, sizes 8-10 and a daughter, size 6-7.  If you have any clothes in those sizes, please give to the RS presidency or to Sister Michelle Mikkelson.  Also, she is looking for a very inexpensive car ($300-400).   Thanks so much.

An opportunity to pamper yourself

The last class we had was on using these medicinal grade oils in your Emergency kits. This is the week we go to the opposite end of the spectrum and invite you to forget the emergencies and get pampered. Our "class" this week is really an opportunity to come try out the skin care kit and some of the spa products which are loaded with your favorite yummy oils. We will be doing "mini" facials using all of the products while discussing the benefits of the ingredients. This is not all vanity and fluff as these products have been used to address and prevent skin cancer, psoriasis, eczema, acne, wound healing, scarring and other skin conditions.

In two weeks I will be addressing skin care and health from the inside out with nutrition and supplements.

Once again we will be at my daughter Kate Stoker's house at 35 Wyoming Avenue in Henderson at 7:00 PM.  I will be teaching this as well as the next few classes. I hope you can come out and get a little pampered while learning about the benefits of these wonderful oils.

If you have any questions you can call me, Abby Palmer, on my cell 812-3946

Subject: Foreign Exchange Opportunity

Leslie,   Hello again,  my name is Mindy Blake, International Coordinator for Aspect Foundation. I place foreign exchange students in homes across Utah & Nevada. I have about 15 students (male and female) still waiting to hear that they have an American Family willing to host them for the 2011-2012 academic shcool year. If you are looking for a wonderful experience for you and your family, this is it! These are great kids with good behavior and good grades. They want to come and experience life in America. (Its a good missionary experience too)   Things the Host Families will be responsible for:   1. 3 square meals a day - whether you cook or they can help themselves. 2. a "real" bed in a room - this can be shared with the same gender sibling. 3. transportation to and from school - school bus system applies. 4. a sanitary home   The students come with their own spending money for clothing, toiletries, activities, vacations etc... You as a Host Family will not be responsible for anything out of pocket, except for 3 meals a day.   If you are interested in Hosting, please give me a call or email me and I can email you over some profiles of some students that are waiting to come over. You can check out their likes and dislikes and interest and match them up with your own children. If you are a single parent, that is ok too. You do not have to be married. All parents just need to pass a back ground check :)   Thanks for your help, Mindy Blake International Coordinator Aspect Foundation 435-228-8268 mindy_blake1@yahoo.com web address: www.aspectfoundation.org
